Hi.
Nice video , but i noticed is method for stopping anything from grtting into the exhaust outlets , could prove interesting , if he ever forgot to remove the tennis balls prior to start up.
regards alan.

I was trying to find a little more info on this airplane and found this link. I was wondering who this guy was and his flying experience. Tuns out he is a retired airline pilot.
